#Optimus is one of my top 5 characters ever i am married to him actually

I saw that you had transformers on your fandom list, will you be willing to write a 'bot of choice x human reader jealousy/protectiveness fic? Like in that one scene from Transformers 2 where the Deception Pretender tried to seduce Sam but Bee absolutely wasn't having that but had to stay in car mode?

[Aren't you supposed to be more mature than this?]

Summary: Optimus knows better than to get attached to you (too late), he can't help but side eye you and a stranger interacting. (Based on Knightverse Optimus, after ROTB!)

Word count: 800+ words!

Pronouns: They/them

Warnings: Optimus is bad at feelings, Optimus being down bad, extremely self indulgent. Mainly Optimus' Pov as well! Lmk if I need to tag anything!

A/N: Everyone who knows me knows of my obsession and love for this man it's so bad, I have him tattooed and have a whole ass shrine I love HIMMM, Thank you sm for the request! He is the love of my life.

Optimus Prime has been called many things, many of which are true, things he'd accept with pride.

A great leader, a good friend, a valuable teammate, A war criminal.

A jealous bot was never one of them, until recently.

He wasn't sure when he started to take a shine towards you. Was it after Unicron? When he held you in his servos, cradling you to his chest as he transformed back into his bipedal form, only letting go of you after the confused looks from Bee and Mirage.

Maybe it was a while after that, when you offered to help clean him up, Noah was too busy rebuilding Mirage to offer his services to the big man himself.

Optimus could never wipe the feeling of your small hands gently running across his frame, taking extra care to mend any scratches you found, constantly checking in to make sure he was comfortable.

He's ashamed to admit, but he kept shuddering under your touch, his senses overwhelmed by your presence. Every time his cooling fans turned on, he'd wave it off as it was just hot outside. (it's 60 degrees out, liar.)

He tries to recharge that night, but the feeling in his chassis makes him restless. He can see his sensors go haywire at the mere thought of you. He is so fucked, he shuts his eyes and groans deeply, his mask shooting up to mask the sound, lest he wakes the others.

Primus help him.

With his new revelation, Optimus tries his best to distance himself towards you, always making excuses as to why he can't drive you home or to work (a flicker of jealously when Arcee offers, no one catches his digits curling ever so slightly into his palm), saying he must go on patrol for the time being. He waves you off when you try and care for him, asking if he'd like any help with any scrapes and dents, saying he can live with them, he's been through worse.

Its only natural that you'd give him some space, that's the kind of person you are, kind, loving, respectful, loyal to a fault, but it doesn't escape his notice when your smile falls after he politely tells you you're not needed, his spark aching when you turn around to go find another bot.

Optimus watches you now, stationed on the street.

He has no right to be upset when you're stopped outside of the garage by an older man, the man so clearly taking interest in you while you're very politely listening and nodding, shooting that oh so pretty smile to a man who he's sure is not fit to be anywhere near you, not worthy of the warm smile you wear.

It makes him seethe in jealousy, and it's scary.

He can not remember a time when he had ever been jealous. He's a prime. He was supposed to be a calm and collected leader and yet. And yet, he's so close to blowing his hor-

You suddenly whirl towards him. If he was any better of a man, he wouldn't immediately think of how cute you looked, how your lips moved as you let out a yelp.

It isn't until that thought passes his mind that he realizes he used his truckers horn. Embarrassment trickles through his body, although now he has your attention, and you are making your way towards him. The man following behind you keeps the conversation going, not catching a hint.

Optimus is ready to honk again, especially if this man keeps following so close behind you, way too close for comfort.

You beat him to it, turning around as you rest a hand on Optimus’ cabins door handle, shooting the man a polite smile.

“Sorry about that, but my husband is actually here to pick me up, so I have to go. Have a good day!” And You hoist yourself up, quickly buckling your seat belt, gently patting the dashboard in hopes Optimus fucking drives before you're bothered anymore.

Optimus’ processor buffers, his engine revving as he goes on autopilot to tale you both away. Does he know where to drive to? Certainly no, but you're with him now. He's sure you could ask him to take you to distant planets, and he'd make it work for you and only you.

“Thank you for the save, big guy.” You smile brightly at his steering wheel, your eyes lovingly trailing across the autobot symbol that sits in the center.

“It was nothing, I am glad to be there to assist.” The cabin rumbles with his voice, soothing your anxiety. You curl into your seat, resting your head.

“Where are we going?”

“If I'm not mistaken, you mentioned wanting to go to upstate New York to drive along some scenic routes? I'll gladly be your escort.”

He is so ridiculously falling for you, but he can't bring himself to hate it, especially when you excitedly hop in your seat.

Top 10 Predictions in the next Transformers Era

Hello, fans.

As mentioned in another post a while ago, the closing of the Prime universe marks the end of another significant Transformers universe. It brought on a lot of things we wanted to see in Transformers for a while now and I predict Transformers will continue the progressive and experimental trend after the booming success of the Prime era. Like I also mentioned, it is very likely that the next era won’t be for another few years and it is likely that it will take place in when my son is five (he’s a baby now) which will mark his introduction to Transformers. I’m very positive about the future and I think Hasbro is finally listening to its fans. With that said, here are the things I think are going to happen next in Transformers. Note, that this is based on theory not wish fulfilment. I want to be unbiased and take into account that it can’t do everything all at once. Moreover, I don’t expect all of these things to happen in one show, just in the one era. Anyway, onto the list;

1- Rodimus Prime will take the lead. - After seeing Bumblebee come out into his own and seeing Rodimus gain a huge following especially with his progressive views in the IDW comics, I think it is very likely that in the next Transformers Era, Rodimus will be the Prime that leads the way. I don’t know if he will be presented as being in training and eventually take up the mantle, or be in charge from the get go, but I think that when the next era comes, the world will be ready for Rodimus with open arms especially if he is as open minded and interesting as he is in the comics.

2- Positive LGBT representation. - After seeing Transformers finally do female representation and black representation right, I think it goes without saying that proper LGBT representation that is open and tasteful is next on the list. Sure, we got Knockout who is out and proud, but Hasbro wouldn’t let him say it and did a “not so nice D word” move of forcing him back into the closet by denying his homosexuality. I think Hasbro learned its lesson and won’t do such a thing ever again.

3- A woman leader. - While I doubt it will be the main series that marks the era, I think the next era will at long last introduce us to a series where the boss is a female. I believe this because after seeing Cyberverse, I feel Windblade is the one really wearing the pants in the series not Bumblebee. Moreover, I see more and more female characters no longer playing the part of love interest, so I think this is a build up to a woman taking the reigns.

4- More positive multi racial representation. - I think it is safe to say that Transformers has made its characters more and more colourful especially in Rescue Bots and Prime. I think the inclusion of more prominent non-white characters will become even more natural and more expanded in the next era. I won’t even be surprised if the next main human character is of colour.

5- Another series that is not Autobots vs Decepticons. - After the success of Rescue Bots, I am convinced Hasbro is going to test more waters. And it should do that! There are other things Transformers can do with its lore like maybe space exploration or another Rescue Bots based show.

6- An on screen wedding. - I say this because of how TV shows for kids are going in general. There is no longer a stigma towards showing romantic love as being natural in a tasteful way in cartoons, so I think it is very likely that in at least one series in the next era, one couple will have an on screen wedding. Now, I don’t know if it will be opposite gender or same gender, or if it will be a human or Cybetronian wedding (I would love to see two Transformers officially marry personally), but there will definitely be two people saying “I do” in the next era at some point and time. And I think it will be great.

7- Humans will no longer be victims, but characters with equal footing. - The biggest shift in the Prime era was how human characters were written. They’re not just victims anymore, but capable team members who can hold out on their own and at times, can be dangerous villains even towards the Transformers. I think that in the next era, this portrayal of humans will become normalised.

8- Another fan favourite character will be spotlighted. - The Prime era was many things, but it was also a very obvious valentine to Bumblebee. I mean, he even got his own movie. With that said, I think Hasbro will try to strike lightning again by spotlighting another fan favourite. I have no idea who it will be though I think it is likely to someone from the top ten list so it might even be a Decepticon.

9- Bulkhead will become a regular character. - Quite simply, almost everyone knows who Bulkhead is now including most of the G1 generation. I think it is safe to say that in his next appearance, he will just need to show his face plate and everyone will be able to point and say “that’s Bulkhead”.

10- The status quo of “Autobots good” and “Decepticons bad” will finally be broken. - I know this sounds like wish fulfilment, but it really isn’t. Hear me out. At the end of Prime, Megatron lost all desire to conquer and left peacefully meaning he had good in him even as a Decepticon. Also, in the comics, Megatron became an Autobot for a while and showed genuine remorse for all of the damage he had done. Heck, he even became friends with Rodimus Prime. And he wasn’t the only one. A lot of Decepticons turned out to be good people who were just following orders. On the flipside, it was revealed that many Autobots were far from good. I think there is a good chance that in the next era, Transformers will no longer be good or bad by way of their faction and the issue of a bot not needing to convert to prove they are good will happen. Even in War for Cybertron, both Megatron and Optimus are shown in much grayer shades.

Anyways, those are just my predictions that are most likely. And like I said, they may not happen all at once or in the same TV show. Some may never happen in the next era or only a few will.

What do you all think and tell me, what do you think will happen in the next era?

PS: If you have an obscure Transformers theory you want explored, tell me about it in my ask box and I will get to it. Please keep it tasteful and kind though. Note that I only do theories that can actually be possible.

See you next time.
